$6 for 60 minutes?
No, it's not pr0n (or even sex*), it's the cheapest way to get on the net at Austin Bergstrom Airport, where i am awaiting an America West flight to take me to the
Blackboard conference in Phoenix. T-mobile offers 60 minutes for $6 or one day for $9. Wayport offers one day for $6.95. I think i'll just right this and post it later. Hopefully the hotel will have free net connectivity of some kind. Or the conference.
I find myself making less-than spirited attempts to enthuse myself for the conference: "Don't whine... how many other people get to go to conferences? The rest of your group would love to go." But being of the Unix persuasion, not a Blackboard persuasion, i just concerned that conversations with other conference members will grind to a halt as soon as i mention some crazy program like "ps" from that complex Unix world.
I'll try and keep an open mind.
Looks like the airplane has arrived. After looking at
Southwest Airlines' colors for many years, one would think it would be hard to pick a less attractive color scheme.
And that's where one would be wrong., because
AmericaWest has done just that. When has safety orange has ever gone well with teal? Or any other color? I guess the safety orange has a better chance of catching the eye of that drowsy airport fuel truck driver.
*well, it is Internet access.
